Well you can opt-out….but meta will decide if the request is “valid”? And then maybe they grant the opt-out request.. this is not the way. Wife tries to optout and its a fucking disaster not only do they make it so that you hate computers from now on (i already did hate them but i was in IT for 30 years), Half the time the optout form does not “work” for some reason.

Worked easily for me. Perhaps you need some kind of general data protection regulation in your area.
